IGBO ORIGIN AND HISTORY

[@ekeneokeke8244]

I like the elderly man. Truth is truth, nobody knows. History of our origin is a secret and secret is with Nature.

[@Shortsonline-j]

Whenever we want to talk about Igbo origin, make sure there is no religion involved because we never had one, so we stik with our culture, God's and traditions

[@ogbodowilfred5721]

Isreal helped igbos during the war ok. Research To Me igbos and most tribes in Africa are too old to decipher it started from over 200,000 years of the rise of homo sapiens through evolution. African tribe origin is not as easy to decipher as that of Europeans Asian Arabs who left Africa a long time ago. Looking at people we call igbos today there was no tribe called igbos about 1000 years, igbos today are assemblage of people from all parts of Africa both the eri, igbos the split out of ijaws ibibioo etc Let us write a single comprehensive history putting into consideration those we do not even call igbos today that are igbos too

[@gabrielnkomo7297]

There's no particular person or tribe is igbo. Igbo means human being according to Anaeke mmadu who started using the word in the first place. Anaeke mmadu invented the word igbo to replace his surname MMADU to avoid sounding as if he was referring to himself. The people we know as Ndigbo today have different origins, there are people who have been living in igboland since time immemorial and there are people who came later to join the rest. The autochtnous natives people who have been living in the present igboland are people who live in the present Udi, ezeagu, oka, okigwe, agwu, oji river, and some communities in aguata who are not aro Chukwu descendants. Nri, aro and idu people are people who came later to join.

[@shakkamusa2366]

The fake people brainwashed you into believing that you are part of them and you believe them. Igbos and most of the people in Sub-Saharan Africa are Bantu who originated in the Kongo. We migrated to different parts of Africa and the world. Bantu are the descendants of Akobi (Jacob). History has shown that Akobi and his ancestors were a Katopia (Ethiopian) people. The Bible, which is mainly a story of the Katopian/Bantu people and their relationship to their God and the people around them. It is not a religious book as we have never had religion. Our culture and traditions, which are divine is what we followed. Sadly, we are suffering today, because our ancestors forgot that and started following religions and false idols, which we continue to do to this day. Judaism is a false religion based on our story. So are Christianity and Islam. It is time for us to wake up and return to our traditions. Come out of Babylon!!

Please o want to correct a word here, the first name of Igbo people is Hebrew is when evil Britain came in that they changed the name to hide our identity from us. They changed the name Hebrew to Ebo from Ebo to Ibo and from Ibo to Igbo which we are answering today. And the father of Igbo which we are answering to day is Eri seventh son of Gad and Gad the fifth son of Jacob. Eri came from Egypt with 2 of his brother which their names was Arodi and Areli and many others that fellow them, some even stop on the way. and Eri and his brothers came in Omanbala which the name today is Anambra state, Eri begot 5 children and 1 daughter. Eri established a community in the middle of Omanbala river, which is Anambra today (at Eri-aka) in Aguleri where he married two wives. The first wife, Nneamakụ, bore him five children. The first was Agulu, the founder of Aguleri (The ancestral head of Eri Kingdom clans) (the Ezeora dynasty that has produced 34 kings till date in Enugwu Aguleri), the second was Menri, the founder of Umunri / Kingdom of Nri, followed by Onugu, the founder of Igbariam and Ogbodulu, the founder of Amanuke. The fifth one was a daughter called Iguedo, who is said to have borne the founders of Nteje, and Awkuzu, Ogbunike, Umuleri, Nando and Ogboli in Onitsha. As one of the children of Eri, Menri migrated from Aguleri, which was and still is, the ancestral temple of the entire Umu-Eri (Umu-Eri and Umu-Nri). His second wife Oboli begot Ọnọja, the only son who founded the Igala Kingdom in Kogi State.[1] Eri is the founder of the Umueri and Umunri clans, both of whom were some of the most influential and powerful dynasties of priests and diviners in Igboland and adjacent areas such as the Bini and Igala/Idoma areas.

[@Shortyjored88]

@@Tefera-hf8fw While I can't say which specific tribes in Africa is Israel though I can guess, what is very obvious from the scripture is this: Zephaniah 3:10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. Understand that in Biblical times, Israel was located in North Africa. The Middle East didn't exist as we know it to be now. Israel is on the same Tectonic plate as Africa. Every time Israel ran into trouble they ran into Africa especially Egypt. many scriptures to back this up if you will read the Bible or Torah. But once the enemy followed them down to Egypt and the other areas of North Africa, they ran into the deep interior. Zephaniah is very specific that the tribe of Israel will be found in the deep interior of Africa beyond the rivers of Cush. Deut 28 speaks of a slavery by ship that will point to who the children of Israel are. Not everyone who went into the Trans-Atlantic slave ships were Israel, but many were. This was a very detailed prophecy that would not be mistaking for any other events in history despite some who claimed this happened already. Despite this, we have no record of anything coming close to Deut 28 other than the Trans-Atlantic slave ship. So now the end time mystery is which tribes are part of the "Lost Tribe of Israel." This is the only debate we should be having because obviously God tells us they would be found in Africa. So the Igbos believing they are Israel should not be a shock because many tribes will claim this because of the times we are in, but eventually the truth of who is Israel will be confirmed by God.

[@gregonwum8813]

First what is the meaning of the word ( Igbo ) is correctly written as i gbo meaning "to mediate" because they are a nation of consecrated priests to mediate between God and humanity. The Igbo language is the fundamental language of so- called Sudanic "kwa" language. However, The Igbo Empires would spread to Europe, Middle-East, Near and Far East as far as India, China, Japan and Mongolia to establish the great Oriental Civilizations. All these languages have a common root in Igbo language! Before they were called Igbos, they are called ( I zara Eli.) meaning you answered God. The true location of the 12 tribes of Israel ( Igbo or ibo language: I Zara Eli, meaning ' you answered God' ) are at this day in Igbo land and settled according to the " The Other of Encampment and Marching' as God instructed Moses and Aaron in [ Numbers 2:3-32]. Their location was around the Temple at Jerusalem (Igbo language: iyi e rusala m, meaning "evil should not touch me") which is the Holy City Called today Owerri ( Igbo language: Owe eri, meaning Leaders from time immemorial ) in Imo State South Eastern Nigeria.

Why do Igbo talk about Eri? Is it from the bible who was. People need to stop this word like Uomo Erectus. If human did not mate with animal there is no way they will born a half person. Some people are still experimenting it till now but they have not been able to create the that have lasted We talk about Moses but we miss Aaron and forget Gad who left Moses because Moses hated Gad. Aaron was from Izuogu Moses was from Niger. In the Ancient day there was no division among black people. The Igbo are for groups from unique ancestors that spread all over the Earth in black form.
